In this paper, the applicability and usefulness of windprofiler input data were investigated to generate three dimensional wind field. A logical diagnostic model CALMET with windprofiler data at ten sites and with weather forecasting model WRF output was evaluated by statistically comparing with the radiosonde data at eight sites. The horizontal wind speed from CALMET simulated with hourly windprofiler data is in good agreement with radiosonde observations within 1.5 m/s of the root mean square error, especially local circulation of wind such as sea breeze over the coastal region. The root mean square error of wind direction ranged $50^{\circ}{\sim}70^{\circ}$ is due to the wind direction error from the windprofiler polluted by ground clutters. Since the exact wind can be produced quickly and accurately in most of the altitude with windprofiler data on CALMET, we expect the method presented in this study to be useful for the monitoring of safe environment as well as weather in the coastal zone.

This study is analyzed the correlation between El-Nino and La-Nina and Korea's temperature and precipitation in summer and winter, and the results of this analysis are as follows: (1) The extraction of the occurrences of El-Nino reveals are 5, but La-Nina reveals 6 years. (2) The tendency of change of sea surface temperature around NINO.3 and that of or country are about the same, but the anomaly of Janggi and Pusan was much greater than that of Inchon. (3) The anomaly of sea surface temperature around NINO.3 and that of the temperature showed the similar changing tendency, the temperature of Korea has something to do with that of NINO.3sea surface temperature as the correlation of ground temperature with the temperature of sea surface showed 0.06. Anomaly warm winter has something to do with El-Nino because the temperature of our country was high when El-Nino phenomena appeared. But the precipitation over our country is not significant for La-Nina. (4) Temperature in El-Nino year is lower than normal in summer and higher than normal in winter. But precipitation is more in summer and winter of El-Nino year, but it is not significant of La-Nina year.

The purpose of this paper is to figure out the research direction and information regarding Mt. Baekdu in Korea through analyses of the research field and trends. Firstly, we made inventory of journal papers, conference proceedings, and research reports published related to Mt. Baekdu. A total of 255 data, spanning the 34 years from the 1980s to the middle of 2014, were acquired and classified into categories according to the year, field, contents and study area. Results show that research on Mt. Baekdu has been performed more than twice since 2010 and study regarding prediction has been carried out in 54.7% cases. In addition, the importance of geo-spatial information is expected to increase in order to study Mt. Baekdu. Secondly, we made and analyzed a geospatial information using inventory of 234 detailed research contents in research reports by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and National Institute of Meteorological Research (NIMR). Statistics on categories show that research regarding prediction accounted for 81.6% of cases and the study of geo-spatial information utilization accounted for 54.7% of cases. However, the focus on studying the Mt. Baekdu region accounted for only 20.1% of cases. Thus, this indicates that it is necessary to do research at Mt. Bakdu itself. If the directly available geo-spatial information system is developed related to Mt. Baekdu, it will save research costs and analysis time. This study can be used to manage information about the research field of Mt. Baekdu by analysing inventory of research references and geospatial information using inventories when the Mt. Baekdu area is the focus of future research.

The Boltwood Cloud Sensor is meteorological sensor that is used to estimate an amount of clouds in the sky. This sensor will be installed for OWL(Optical Wide-field patroL) telescope and observatory system of Korea Astronomy and Space Science. Before applying this sensor to an observatory system, we performed test observations at Chungbuk University Observatory at Jincheon, Chungbuk. During the test run, a significant correlation between air temperature difference and the number of visible stars recorded in the CCD frames has not been found. This preliminary result can be attributed to test environment of the observation and our lack of knowledge on calculation algorithm as well as the hardware system of the Boltwood Cloud Sensor.In this paper, we present the procedure and the result of the performance test employing the cloud sensor.

GPS radio occultation is a remote sensing technique probing atmospheric properties based on the fact that GPS signal is refracted and delayed by atmosphere. The FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC mission jointly developed by the USA and Taiwan is providing about 2500 occultation soundings a day on the near real-time basis. The Korean KOMPSAT-5/AOPOD system is preparing to launch for monitoring troposphere and ionosphere using a dual frequency GPS receiver and the antenna for occultation data acquisition. In this paper, we examine the methods for signal processing and the geometry analysis for GPS radio occultation, and look into the retrieval techniques for the temperature and humidity of troposphere and the electron density and scintillation of ionosphere. Using these atmospheric properties, we aim to derive the strategies for applying GPS radio occultation to space weather, for example, ionospheric TEC(total electron content) analysis for earthquake monitoring and the Open API(application programming interface) development for more effective data service.

An accurate fire danger rating model can contribute to effective forest fire prevention activities. This study evaluates the national forest fire danger rating index based on forest fire statistics data from 1999 to 2002. The number of fires was related to the forest fire danger rating index $(R^2=0.67)$, and no correlation was found with burned areas. A one-way ANOVA test between forest fire danger rating levels and forest fire statistics data indicated that a difference in the number of fires was found among 'danger', 'precaution' and 'none' levels, but 'precaution' and 'none' levels could not be delineated. In the case of a burned area, no difference was found among the three levels.

Observation and data analysis techniques have been developed for observational blind areas in the lower atmosphere that are difficult to be monitored with fixed equipment on the ground. The vertical data of temperature and relative humidity are remotely collected by the UHF radiosonde installed on UAV and compared with the data measured in the 10 m weather tower. From the validated vertical profile, extrapolated surface temperature and the bulk transfer method were used to estimate the sensible heat flux depending on the atmospheric stability. Compared with the sensible heat flux measured by the 3-dimensional ultrasonic anemometer on the ground, the error of the sensible heat flux estimated was 23% that is less than the range of 30% allowed in the remote sensing. Estimated atmospheric boundary layer height from UAV sensible heat fluxes can provide useful data for air pollution diffusion models in real time and economically.

이 연구에서는 최근 25년간(1986-2010년)의 우리나라 기상청 및 일본 기상청 자료를 사용하여 엘니뇨 라니냐 현상과 태풍과의 관계를 분석하였다. 여기서는 엘니뇨감시해역의 해면수온의 기준치와의 차의 5개월 이동평균치가 6개월 이상 계속하여 $+0.5^{\circ}C$ 이상 이 된 경우를 엘니뇨현상, $-0.5^{\circ}C$ 이하가 된 경우를 라니냐현상이라고 정의한다. 그리고 엘니뇨 발생년은 엘니뇨현상이 시작된 해부터 종료된 해까지를, 라니냐 발생년은 라니냐현상이 시작된 해부터 종료된 해까지로 정의한다. 주요 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 전 기간에 대한 태풍의 연평균 발생 수는 25.4개이다. 이는 60년간(1951-2010년)의 연평균 태풍 발생 수 26.3개보다 약 1개 적은 결과로 최근 지구온난화와 관련하여 태풍의 발생 수가 감소 추세를 보이고 있다는 연구 결과를 뒷받침한다. 엘니뇨 발생년의 연평균 태풍 발생 수는 23.9개이고, 라니냐 발생년의 그것은 24.9개이다. 적도 부근 서부 태평양의 따뜻한 물이 동쪽으로 이동하여 동부 태평양의 해면수온이 평년 이상으로 높아지는 엘니뇨 발생년에 태풍의 발생 수가 감소한다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 태풍의 세기를 나타내는 평균 중심최저기압과 평균 최대풍속은 엘니뇨 발생년에 959.3hPa과 35.8m/s, 라니냐 발생년에 965.5hPa과 33.7m/s 그리고 25년 전 기간에 대하여는 962.3hPa과 35.0m/s이었다. 엘니뇨 발생년의 태풍의 세기가 라니냐 발생년의 태풍의 세기보다 강함을 알 수 있다.
